Abstract (en)

[origin: EP1894818A1] The axle has a left bar (12) and a right bar transversely connected by a cross piece. Each bar has a rear end (22) including a support (24) with a swivel (26) for a vehicle wheel. The support has a fixation plate with a front correction zone (52) adjacent to front upper and lower holes (48A, 48C), and a rear correction zone (54) adjacent to rear upper and lower holes (48B, 48D), where the holes allows passage of swivel fixing units (28) e.g. screw. An adjusting wedge (50) is transversely interposed between the plate and the swivel, and selectively positioned on one of the zones. An independent claim is also included for a method for adjusting parallelism of an axle of a vehicle.
